This low-calorie salad is incredibly good for you. To back up my words with evidence, let me say a little about the benefits of the foods in it. 1) Cranberries are rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C), pectins, organic acids, and sugars. This autumn berry contains fructose and glucose (and, to a lesser extent, sucrose); citric, benzoic, malic, quinic, and oleanolic acids, plus trace amounts of oxalic and succinic acids. It also contains betaine, bioflavonoids, and micro- and macronutrients. Cranberries help lower blood cholesterol and strengthen blood-vessel walls. They prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of small and medium-sized arteries, and they help prevent blood clots. Eating cranberries boosts energy and reduces inflammation in the body. The substances they contain have antibacterial properties. 2) Sauerkraut contains vitamins A, B, C, K, and U, as well as pectin, calcium, and sulforaphane. These substances help prevent many gastrointestinal disorders. It's rich in iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Sauerkraut boosts immunity, strengthens the body's resistance to stress, revs up metabolism, and helps stimulate the production of red blood cells. 3) Onion is no less beneficial — it's also rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, and PP and in trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iodine, sodium, iron, manganese, zinc, and so on.
